Abstract (en)
A mail piece routing system and method is disclosed for routing mail pieces through a delivery network comprising network stations for delivery of one or more pieces of a consignment. Upon receipt of a consignment order, the computer systems calculates a scheduled path for delivery of the consignment through the delivery network. The scheduled path is defined from successive predefined path segments between network stations. Each piece is assigned to delivery pipelines between successive network stations on the scheduled route. Upon measuring the physical characteristics of a mail piece, routing of the mail pieces at successive network stations may be affected.
